A constant torque of turns a wheel of moment of inertia about an axis passing through its centre. Starting from rest, its angular velocity after is:
Given: Torque Moment of inertia Initial angular velocity (since it starts from rest) Time
From Newton's second law for rotational motion, the angular acceleration is given by:
Using the first equation of rotational kinematics, the final angular velocity is: .
